DEVICES FOR ACCUMULATION, MOVEMENT AND QUALITY CONTROL OF ARTICLES Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: article is arranged in universal seat of transporter and moved in direction of reloaders. Every seat is made universal in shape of body with jaws. The latter carry flexible cylinders filled with air and fitted with valves. In position of checking, manipulator moves measuring device with laser sensor to article. After place of checking is found electrical resistance at preset point is measured buy means of electrodes. They are compressed with the aid of springs and released by means of electromagnets. After checking is completed article is returned to transport and transferred to subsequent operations. If flaw is detected article is delivered to trough by means of slide valve.
